The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever. Isaiah 32:17 NIV
Only last week I was visiting a dear friend and the conversation meandered to the faith of our mothers. We shared stories and marvelled at their courage and faithfulness. The part that impacted me the most was when I heard about how my friend’s mother passed away. She was ill for quiet some time and in great pain, yet throughout, her life was out-focused and loving. Even as she slipped into her final sleep she emanated a quietness and confidence in God, like still, quiet waters. This verse promises a peace the world does not have. Only giving our lives into God’s care can bring the tranquillity we all seek.
